I am right there with you Bio... My GF is convinced that I have a problem. I feel like I am scouring over every sports site, rumor mill, social media platform, every 15 min to see if there is any new info... Maybe I do have a problem....

Yeah, most of us have problems. In April we complain about the defense. Then in June we care more about getting a winger for Crosby. It's because the playoffs are 9+ months away and we want to see 1200 goals scored during the regular season.

Have you ever seen Fever Pitch? There's a summer npv and an in-season npv. The past few years I just can't get enough hockey. I've been living on twitter since the draft and on ever hockey rumors site(I <3 Eklund).

Ain't this the truth. I am trying to stay out of this trap and hope for strong, gritty defensemen instead of allstar caliber wingers. It is obvious from recent playoffs that a well balanced team with STRONG D wins the cup. It is just hard to not want a high scoring team also. Has to be tough on RS trying to achieve a good balance of scoring and strong defense. This weekend should be very interesting.

During the season, if a game starts at 7:30, you look forward to 7:30. Now and at the deadline, big news can happen at any time, so we think it requires more attention. What none of us have figured out yet, is that if we missed the entire off-season and just read a ten paragraph summary in September, we'd learn all we really need to know. Being even 12 hours late to learn big news shouldn't be a big deal - but it is.
